Back in October I posted about a contest by Q3A mapping contest by Mapcore to celebrate Quake 3's 15th anniversary. We got an update on how the contest is going over at the Mapcore website. They also have a sever up now so the maps in alpha/beta can be playtested. Check them out!

On December 2nd Quake 3 will celebrate its 15th anniversary. Many people have a soft spot for this classic so instead of neglecting this anniversary we want to pay tribute to this amazing game. For that reason, we partnered up with Pixologic (Zbrush), Id Software, Hammerwatch and CGTextures to bring you MapCore's Quake 3 15th Anniversary Contest which will run from October 8th to December 3rd deadline. Check out all the details here, including the core rules that it's about making a Q3A 4-8 person FFA map.

Wow, talk about an early warning, we've already got the 2015 dates set! If you were planning on going, make sure to set aside July 23rd to 26th of 2015 aside for your fragging pleasure! It's still at the Hilton Anatole and you can reserve room now for $164 a night.

QakeCon's out and about so that means videos and images are starting to emerge! Quakecon's official Youtube page is adding videos daily now and their Flicker page has a ton of images from Day 1. Be sure to check those out!
